Disobedience - Disobedience and true happiness do not go together

Disobedience

 

It is my own disobedience

towards You

that keeps me

from experiencing

true happiness.


With my own selfishness

I miss out on Your blessing.


My free will

decides over and over again

against your guidelines

because I believe I know better

and want to do

what my hard head tells me.


Where is it written

that I will be happy

when I horde belongings?


Who says that I will be satisfied

when I do not share?


When do I have enough

to be happy?


Who teaches me

to oppress others

so that I can get what I want?


Why do I believe

that I do not need to help others

and can look the other way

and not help out

when there is suffering and injustice?


Where do I find true happiness,

satisfaction and inner peace?


I can have all the right knowledge

but only when I do the right things

does it show that I understood it,

and only then does my

satisfaction, my inner peace

and my own happiness

begin to grow.


With my own disobedience

I have made my choice

against You –

now and for all eternity.


You gave me a free will

and if I do not voluntarily

submit it to You

I cannot really enjoy

any of the good

that You have left for me.


It is my own disobedience

that keeps the evil in the world going.


It is with my own selfishness,

which constantly

and at all cost wants more,

that I completely

miss out on happiness.


Oh, Lord forgive me

and teach me Your ways

so that I too

can live within your blessing

because Your blessing

and my disobedience

just do not go together!

But if you do not obey Hashem your God to observe faithfully all His commandments and laws which I enjoin upon you this day, all these curses shall come upon you and take effect:

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
